You are one of the great optimists of our time (we need more of those). I'm guessing you could find plenty of sunshine at the bottom of a sealed pit, in a cavern, on a cloudy day at night.The only good thing about the TTech loss was that CU could no longer say they had scored the most points against us.
But yeah, 70-10 was only a painful symptom of a problem whose root cause lay at the feet of Perlman / Pederson, and started much earlier.
